Edit!!! If the server is virtualized you should do a snapshot before the following steps!

You could try to kill the yum process.

kill yum

If it doesn’t work:

kill yum -9

After killing it you should do

yum-complete-transaction
yum clean all

because it can be leaved in an inconsistent state after killing.

After these steps you should try

yum update

from terminal.

-bash: kill: yum: arguments must be process or job IDs

sorry my fault. Try

pkill yum

or

killall yum

or get the id with:

ps -A | grep yum

so, i have run the command, all cleared, but now. the interface still has the running process unending

Event: nethserver-mysql-update

Did you kill the process?

even after reloading the page?

yap, have tried over and over again.

this is the second time after rebuild that it happens

maybe the process to kill is pkgaction? I don’t know

i just had to rebuild the server. ill monitor closely, if the issue persisit,s then ill install the apps one by one till i notice which one of the apps causes the problem in the first place
